 Version for industrial gases

The downstream pressure p2 to be controlled is tapped downstream of the valve and transmitted over the control line (14)
to the operating diaphragm (12) where it is converted into a
positioning force. This force is used to move the valve plug (3)
according to the force of the set point springs (7). The spring
force is adjustable at the set point adjuster (6). When the force
resulting from the downstream pressure p2 rises above the adjusted pressure set point, the valve closes proportionally to the
change in pressure.

Free of oil and grease for high-purity applications

Wetted plastic parts conforming to FDA regulations (max.
60C)
Principle of operation (see Fig.2)
The medium flows through the valve (1) as indicated by the
arrow. The position of the plug (3) determines the flow rate
across the area released between plug and valve seat (2). The
plug stem (5) with the plug is connected to the stem (11) of the
actuator (10).

The fully balanced valve has a balancing bellows (4). The

downstream pressure p2 acts on the inside of the bellows,
whereas the upstream pressure p1 acts on the outside of the
bellows. As a result, the forces produced by the upstream and
downstream pressures acting on the plug are balanced out.

To control the pressure, the operating diaphragm (12) is tensioned by the set point springs (7) and the set point adjuster
(6) so that the valve is opened by the force of the set point
springs when it is relieved of pressure (p1= p2).
